Prices at the pump have leapt since the start of the conflict – but clinging to fossil fuels will only prolong the pain, says Berlin-based journalist Tania Roettger
The fuel tax reduction being more than completely negated by corporate profits even before it comes into effect is just the shit cherry on the fucking shit cake that is our bumbling response to this clusterfuck. In this stupid fucking timeline that we’ve managed to manoeuvre ourselves into, this is the only bit I’m hopeful about: That this entire situation is so ridiculously blatant that Merz will have no recourse but to shaft Reiche.
It’s not a “bumbling”. That implies they are incompetent while all signs point to criminally corrupt collusion with corpos to extract wealth from the working class, rather than acting in their best interests.
Elect neoliberals or conservatives, and you’ll always get a shit sandwich to bite down on, even if you occasionally like the taste.
We are all continuously, subconsciously, conditioned to repeat the same language the media uses to describe reality. We all gotta keep checkin ourselves before we wreck ourselves.

Excuse the French; I’m livid.

Completely valid. I actually used to correct other users on this issue myself. Turns out it’s fairly easy to fall into the same trap.
Thanks for the correction, much appreciated.
Yeah it’s a lot like the anthropomorphism of AI.
